CONSUMPTION BY INGEsTIoN.

DIR. Blaine Holds that the Disease is ~
CURED from Meat and Elk.
DR.. NJ. d. Blaine read a paper last night
before the New York Academy OF Medi-
cine on ''BOvine Tuberculosis-its Com
municatiOn by Inhalation, Ingestion and
Hereditary Transmission, and its Relation
to Public Health DIR. Blaine said that
consumption or tuberculosis is both in
herited and acquired He held that as
the SO called lower animals have organs
similar in construction and material to
those of man, the diseases existing in the
one are capable of reproduction in the
other, and that it is natural that man,
who drinks the lower animals milk and
eats their flesh, should contract their dis
eases through ingestiOn. He said that
per cent of all the animals killed in the
abattOirs of this city have tuberculosis,
and that p per cent. of all milk cows have
the same disease. Last July, with Mr.
Romano, the meat inspector, he visited
the stock yards about the city. On the
day of his visit 10 cows were sold to Jersey
buyers, of which had tuberculosis. In
16 herds that furnished milk for Brooklyn
every herd comprised animals that had
this disease, and in one of the cows,
selected at random and killed, the bron-
chial glands were three times their normal
size, with calcified sections, cheesy Jumps
ana cavities HIied with mucO-puruIent
matter. DR.. Blaine exhibited specimens
of evident cases of tuberculosis taken from
the abattoirs in various parts of the city.
DIR. Cyrus Edison, after cOngratulating
DR.. Blaine on having written the first
thesis on the subject which had ever been
written, said that 5000 cows, many of
which are diseased, are permanently
stabbed about New York, and he was
satisfied that they gave tuberculosis to
hundreds of persons. He said that it is
shame and disgrace that in this whole
city there are only three milk inspectors
and only one meat inspector.
The academy voted to have DR.. Blaine's |
paper printed for general circulation

Watching a Bear Hunt in a Mirror.

In 1910, as John Mimic had to go up
the Columbia river he took passage with
an Indian chief who had something of a
retinue. There was a sub chief who
looked after things of minor importance,
and a dusky maiden to whom old Pu-Pu
MoX- NIOx, who was then great chief and
was destined later to fall in battle in COM
mand of the combined forces of the Inland
Empire, showed very devoted attention
There were also several slaves, who drove
the canoes with their paddles for motive
power. Somewhere on the grand river
when among the ranges that tower above
Cape Horn, Mimic noticed that the Indians
acted very singularly and rather suspi-
ciously. They stopped the canoes and
looked down in the water intently Then
two slaves and a sub chief got into the
smaller canoe and started to cross the
river. Suddenly Mimic dropped on it,
and saw what the Indians saw 1t was
one of those beautiful transparent days
when the air and water are clear as crys-
tai. The sun of autumn either had not
risen so as to reach the deep canyon with
its rays or had dropped behind the west
ern heights. Anyway, these heights
were reflected so perfectly on the surface
of the river that the Indians had watched
the mountain sides as they padded along.
The cause of their strange action was
seeing bear on a high ridge across the
river from them eating berries. The
slaves took fusees across the river to at
tack. They climbed the bluff, took aim,
fired, missed and the bear ran away-he
was not hurt. All this Mimic saw on
the river surface without straining his
eyes to the mountain summit.-Port,

A New Giant in Paris.

Parisians in search of novelties are
promised a treat in the shape of a new
giant as big as any of the tall monsters
who figured among the grenadiers of the
Great Frederick The new Goliath is an
Austrian named Winkelmeier, who is only
81 years old and stands about feet 6
inches. His feet are 80 centimeters, or
1859 inches, and his hands about IA
inches long. He halls from Friedberg
and his parents are of ordinary height,
he himself only commencing to sprout
after he had attained IA years of age
The owners of the hotel where the gigantic
phenomenon has put up have abandoned
the idea of providing him with ordinary
furniture, as their chairs are too small
and their beds too short for youth of his
stature. To enable the son of Anak to
stretch his limbs in a comfortable manner
-FOUR beds were requisitioned by his
friends, who were obliged to arrange
them in position which should enable
MN to go to sleep.-Chicago Herald.

Theory of Coal Formation.

A new theory of coal formation has
en- advanced by NJ. De Grand Fury,
Inch, French journalist points out, is
posed TO the idea that large trees and
.rubs produced coal. A calculation, he
iiintains, of the accumulation of trees,
b., necessary for the conversion into
len thin coal bed, of a forest suddenly
Eried under water, or gradually letting
residue gather on the ground, leads to
evidently erroneous result, so greatly
it necessary to exaggerate either the
PISS of vegetable matter or the duration
the process of coal formation He con-
iers that the coal beds were formerly
lis Of naptha and bituminous petroleum,
Dduced by the decomposition of inferior
uatic vegetation under the influence of
1T and dampness. This theory also, he
Inks, will serve to explain the formation
petroleum, asphalt and other bitumin.

THERE CONES A TIME.

There comes a time when we grow old,
And like a sunset down the sea
Slope gradual and the night winds cold
Come whispering sad and chilingly;
And locks are gray
AS winters day.
And eyes of saddest blue behold
The leaves all weary drift away,
And lips Of faded coral say,
There comes time when grow old.
There comes time when joyous hearts,
Which leaped as leaps the laughing main,
Are dead to all save memory,
As prisoner in his dungeon chain;
And dawn of day
Hath passed away,
The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the embers wan and gray,
hear a voice in whisper say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes a time when manhood's prime
Is shrouded in the mist of years,
And beauty, fading like dream.
Hath passed away III silent tears;
And then how dark!
But, oh! the spark
That kindled youth to hueS of gold,
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections, lingering say,
There comes time when we grow old,
There comes a time when laughing Spring
And golden Summer ceases to be,
And we put the Autumn robe,
To tread the last declivity;
But now the slope,
With rosy Hope,
Beyond the sunset we behold
Another dawn with fairer light,
While watchers whisper through the night,
There comes time when we grow old

An incident observed by only few
took place in the green room OF the
Academy OF Music last Friday evening
upon the occasion Of the Presidents re-
ception, which went far toward demon
stralng the womsnly tact possessed by
the VIII of the nation sshead
Among the many prominent people
present was EX-President HAYES.
Naturally Of retiring disposition, he did
iioI ihlngIe TO any great extent with the
celebrities. When the time arrived for
the Presidential party TO take their places
on the stage they formed il couples, and
the eX-PTesident was left without a part
heT. Al this moment the President and
mFs. Cleveland entered the green
room from the prosceniUm box.
mrs. Cleveland, with womauly in
stlnct, took in the situation at q
glance, and in an instant glided across
TIE moor past The rest or the company,
lad her hand upon the Elk Presidents
arm aud took up her position at the head
OF the line. President Cleveland took
Chairman kas5On'a arm, and in this order
the parry filed on the Stage The whole
thing was the work Of a second, bat in
that time Mr.. Hayes wa5 relieved from
an embarrassing position, and Mrs. Cieve-
IAnu h2d scored smother OF those iCimit-
able strokes OF nnesse for which she is
noted.
Another incident which seems to have
escaped general observation showed that
the Presidents vile is no novice 10 the
art Of Diplomacy. Early in the evening
Mrs Cleveland had done great deal Of
hand-shaking, but wearyiug Of the physi-
cal strain, merely acknowledged the
salu.atlon OF those who paid their re-
spects, with bright smile or nod. Among
the military delegation from the Union
League Club were two coIored officers:
